on the clock

a little clear the 5 am.
rain washes my face
and gentle cat paws on my leg
meow meow coffee beep
calls to further my awareness
the day at hand

these shifts
not so bad
i've had worse
but the change midweek
turn  the clock around so
night is day is
afternoon
spin and push
then
the exhaustion to
nine hours of sleep

one more day til one day off
this morning welcome
rain washed face awake
and coffee beep
simple i know
but
here i am
5 am.

  1. Simple beeps
    but
    here you are
    and that was
    both
    not so simple
    and quite,
    you know.
    So glad
    we set two beeping hearts
    on the bedside table
    now.

  2. And what will you do with that one day off I wonder?! Been a while since I've been around... catching up on reading... feels like sitting down at dusk with a friend sharing cocoa.

  3. Erin- I don't like so much that I leave before you wake. Tomorrow will be a little different. HA!
